If we can't get Lever should we target Michael Newton? Was BOG kicking 8 goals for Wang in the Granny.

Juice spilled some of the easiest marks I've ever seen but at least he could get to the drop of the ball and be in a position to take them.

i'm yet to see any evidence that weid can read the flight of the ball.

it get's excused on demonland as bad kicking but I can assure you juice wasn't getting it on a silver platter

I've seen Weid get into good position in front many times. His issue is he hasn't the body yet to hold his ground. He gets pushed aside too easily. Greater strength, particularly core strength, will improve this. I've also noticed his tackling is good for a player his size.

Is he here yet?

Within a couple of days he will be here, on Friday we should all turn up with our red and blue scarves and welcome him.

Yes and no, his agility is poor and he doesn't fully commit to defensive acts often when he is the only player within the vicinity and the team needs him to, but he has shown some strong signs with his tackling in congestion.

Agreed, he's moved off the ball and has his approach blocked - that gives the impression he is out of position.  If it's still happening in a year or two, then we have real issues.  He's a junior player on the list - he needs to fill out.

How come Robbie Flower could always get to the drop of the ball and not be pushed out of the way? It is more than a strength issue.

Cos he got there before everyone else including the ball sometimes......

it's not a weight/size issue. plenty of players with his build do quite well with marking, holding their ground etc

Because, despite appearances, he was deceptively strong and incredibly well balanced.

Don't judge tall forwards too early. Very few are able to set the world on fire straight away, which is why Jesse is a freak.

Josh Kennedy was rubbish when he played for Carlton. Look how that turned out.

This. He had incredible agility. Plus he was Robbie Flower.

Because he invented the Toby Green don't argue flying for the ball with his legs parallel to the ground and feet directed at anyone who wanted to get in the way of him or the ball. All 70kg's of him. 

 

Weideman has shown enough to suggest that with time and development he can become a good player. 

Hes alresdy dominated games at VFL level and as his body develops I'm sure that'll transition to AFL

the big guys do seem to take 3-4 years to get going

Wow, check into the Jake Lever thread to find it mutated into a discussion on Weed's development and a reminiscing session about Robbie Flower?!?!

JUST DO THE FRIGGIN DEAL ALREADY! :blink:

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

  • GAMEDAY: West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
